Photos: Olivia Stevens Plays PLEASURE AND PERIL at The Laurie Beechman Theatre Olivia Stevens played The Laurie Beechman Theatre on October 22nd with PLEASURE AND PERIL.  Based on the live of Swedish actress Zarah Leander, Pleasure And Peril mixes the story of Leander with Stevens' own story as a Swedish actress in NY and the Granddaughter of Jewish immigrants who fled the Ukraine and Russia to come to NY.  After playing the one-woman show to great acclaim and taking home a Bistro Award, Ms. Stevens has taken Pleasure And Peril to venues around the city and around the world, eventually performing the musical cabaret in multiple languages.

Broadway World Cabaret's own Conor Weiss was on hand for this special encore to capture the action with his trusty lens.
